StupidFatHobbit Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hello Everyone, Didn’t see a SDSU MSW thread for 2022 so I thought I’d create one. Anyone applying for the MSW program at SDSU for 2022? I’m curious as to what your GPA is and how many hours of social service work experience you had at the time of applying!

SDMSWmom Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hello! I applied for the fall 2022 MSW. My CSUSM gpa is 3.98 and my overall GPA is 3.89. I’m a sociology major and I had approx 750 hours of volunteer experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for the 1 year program and I know that it is extremely competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDMSWmom Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Honestly I don’t think GPA carries that much weight. I think they take everything into consideration with additional emphasis on experience and your essay. With that said, you’re right, it’s an extremely competitive program, especially considering the low cost. You’re GPA is excellent, wishing you good luck! Did you apply to any other programs? I recently received my letter of acceptance from Columbia but still waiting for the CSU schools that I applied to. Not expecting to hear back until early spring ?.

wavyberry99 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I applied to the Advanced Standing program. Has anyone contacted admissions about when we'll hear back? I was scrolling through last year's thread and someone mentioned they had double the amount of applicants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidFatHobbit Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Still haven’t heard about anyone getting any decisions yet. I hope that it’s soon! I’m getting so anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavyberry99 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Same here, I heard some current Advanced Standing students last year apparently didn't hear back until a week before summer session started.. I hope it isn't as busy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswgal12 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Glad you started a thread! I had about 2,000 hours of experience and a 3.7 GPA. I emailed the admissions email and they said to expect a decision between early March and mid-April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavyberry99 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thank you so much for emailing them! Ahhhh the wait is making me anxious. Did anyone also apply to CSUSM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotjr06 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I also applied and my GPA is no where as high as any of yours. I do have a lot experience and I am also a male. A lot of my colleagues told me this was an advantage. I hate to use that as an advantage but would like to see applicants are based on that.

I did, but had some issues with my transcripts and financial aid. Therefore, I don't know if my application was cleared for review. I did apply to UCSD - MPP and was accepted last week I'm just waiting for financial aid package and SDSU's decision to make the choice. ?? Those are definitely my top 2 school's before CSUSM.

SDMSWmom Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Congratulations to those of you who were accepted into the advanced standing program! I applied to the two year full time at both SDSU and CSUSM and have not heard back. I was admitted to SJSU last week and Columbia University in mid January. I have an interview with CSUN coming up. I know the wait is brutal, hang in there~☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the assumption that CSUSM always releases their decisions before SDSU, so I was surprised to hear from SDSU so early. Hopefully we hear back soon! However I already accepted my offer to SDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must of started early as April was the given time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
